1826, St. Petersburg. After the suppression of speeches on the Senate Square, the investigative commission begins searching for the Decembrists. Some of them are caught by the authorities because of informers. Suddenly, a series of brutal murders takes place in St. Petersburg: the victims are those who denounced the Decembrists. A piece of paper with lines from a poem by the young poet Alexander Pushkin invariably remains near the bodies of the dead. A Moscow detective and a nobleman released from arrest, Alexander Boshnyak, are taking over the investigation of the case.
Widowed Mrs Martingale and her four children inherit a castle in the will of an elderly relative. When they move in they find dear old Miss Button, the housekeeper, a whole host of cats and, odder still, a boy called Christopher Sixpence who keeps appearing and disappearing. What is he doing there?
The dramatic events revolve around (Ali) the police lieutenant colonel who is investigating a corruption case, with the sequence of events discovering papers proving that he is the son of (Yahya Nosier), one of the businesspeople accused in the corruption case he was investigating.
